EM’s Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) hosted a consortium of students and professors from Clinton College for an experiential excursion that included job shadowing and a tour of scientific laboratories.

Strengthened partnerships and recent changes to regulatory frameworks are leading to impressive results with EM’s cleanup in Oak Ridge.

In 2003, EM created the Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO) to focus on the safe and effective cleanup of the federal government’s two remaining gaseous diffusion plants at the Portsmouth and Paducah sites.

Crews at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) recently accomplished an EM 2023 priority after safely shipping more than 9,000 tons of debris from the demolition of the Main Plant Process Building this year.

Twelve newly trained nuclear waste processing operators received their nuclear waste processor or handler certifications last week.

EM crews have broken ground on a new cell of the largest active landfill at the Idaho National Laboratory Site, an expansion that will extend the life of the facility by 25 years and increase its capacity threefold.

Construction is complete on more than 40 upgrades that will increase the capability, efficiency and reliability of the Hanford Site’s Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF).

EM crews have removed more than 1 million gallons of water from the basement of the Beta-1 building at the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge.

Teams with the Hanford Site's Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) are running through the detailed process workers will use to add simulated waste to a large melter in the next few months.
